I'd argue that for Kurt, "Singin' in the Rain" is even more iconic than "Casablanca." Love them both, though! Always felt bad that "Casablanca" fell short @ the Olympics -- sadly, it just wasn't his night.

I was never her fan but I always respected her determination and drive. Artistry was just never going to be her strong suit, but I still enjoyed watching her regardless. I did not truly think of her as a total bad*** until she did that move in Nagano, and I actually cheered in front of my TV when it happened. Her final "go fug urself" to the judges who've always denied her!

For another male skater who does great a Ina Bauer, let's not forget Paul Wylie! While he obviously doesn't have Yuzu's flexibility, his lines and extension are breathtaking. (Contemplating making a "male skaters who did non-traditional moves" thread...)

Hopefully this isn't too off-topic, but could someone link me to what is considered Kurt's best performance of Casablanca? I've only seen the Olympics version (I know, shame on me), and while I named it as his iconic program, it had enough technical flaws that I didn't fall in love with it.
